<p>hello! I cannot find a "good first issue" label in the repository, neither can I find what could that label be in the rustc dev docs, does it exist? If not, what are some issues I could try solving to make myself comfortable with the code base?</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="214522">@Leo Le Bouter</span> One interesting project that is high profile, and  right now trying to close a new release, and which surely is interested in new contributions, is clap (an argument parser). The <a class="stream" data-stream-id="220302" href="/#narrow/stream/220302-wg-cli">#wg-cli</a> stream is where many developers of clap meet. Maybe you can find something interesting to contribute to.</p>
